Fishers Police Arrest Man Accused of Scamming Resident Out of More Than $200,000
Fishers Police Detectives arrested 21-year-old Anmolpreet Singh of Levittown, New York on May 4, 2026, on two felony charges: Conspiracy to Commit Theft and Conspiracy to Commit Fraud.
On April 30, a Fishers resident contacted police after believing they had become the victim of an elaborate fraud scheme. The victim told investigators the suspects claimed to be affiliated with federal agencies and convinced them to complete multiple financial transactions, including cryptocurrency deposits and wire transfers totaling more than $200,000.
As part of the scheme, the suspects allegedly sent the victim a fraudulent arrest warrant and instructed them to make an in-person cash transaction of $50,000.
Believing the victim would continue to be targeted, Fishers Police Detectives, in conjunction with our federal partners, coordinated an operation to intercept the suspects during the planned pickup.
On Monday, May 4, the suspects contacted the victim and stated they would arrive in Fishers around 4:30 p.m. Detectives utilized Flock camera technology to identify the suspect vehicle as it entered the area. Once the vehicle arrived in the neighborhood, Fishers Police officers used drones to monitor the suspect’s movements throughout the area.
Investigators observed the suspect driving in a manner consistent with counter-surveillance tactics and attempted to arrange a hand-to-hand exchange with the victim, a commonly used tactic to avoid law enforcement detection.
Detectives developed probable cause to believe he had knowledge of and was participating in the fraud scheme.
A traffic stop was conducted, and Singh was taken into custody without incident. During the investigation, detectives determined Singh was involved in communication with the victim.
“This case highlights the lengths scammers will go to manipulate and financially exploit victims,” said Chief Gebhart, “We want our community to know that Fishers Police will use every tool available to identify, investigate, and pursue criminals who target our residents.”
Fishers Police encourage residents to remain cautious of unsolicited calls, emails, or messages claiming to be from government agencies or law enforcement, especially when demands for money, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or secrecy are involved.
